Current Numbers
13s 49

Total current registrations: 114
The general estimate for final registration numbers is 150 with a goal of 12 teams.
There is the annual need for follow-up with players who have played in past years but have not yet registered. Rob Blomberg will follow-up on the 15s, Melissa Flanagan on the 14s, Rick Linehan on the 13s and Jim Trubia on the Hull players.
In response to inquiries about receiving a discount if a player registers for the spring and summer seasons separately, it was decided to keep the policy in place that it is necessary to register for both the spring and summer seasons simultaneously in order to receive the discount.
There are currently 2 requests for scholarships which were approved.

II. Equipment
- There are enough uniforms for 14 teams.
- The $125 for plastic storage bins was again approved.
- 12 shirts are missing from the Hingham Lumber team. It was decided to send invoices out to those who have not returned the shirts as it had been previously stated as policy that those who did not return shirts would have to pay for them. The replacement cost is $36 per shirt.
The Babe Ruth discount cards for Sports Authority will be disbursed to the managers for distribution to the players.
